sweet! thanks man!!! great widget!

Hmmm… I just get v2.4 which immediately tells me again there’s an update and doesn’t show any TV shows …

Thanks for your hard work but this still doesn’t seem to work for me. I still get TBA for everything. I trued deleting all the shows but when I search to re add them I can’t find any of my shows. I even made sure to delete the old version of the widget and re add to be sure and still no luck

The one I just downloaded from that link still uses tv.com…

Awesome ! You rock !

Ho noes….
Updating (replacing) from within Dashboard and killing the Dock apparently trashed my preferences. I have to look for all my shows again.

That’ll take me at liste 2 minutes

trashing the prefs file seems to fix all my issues.

Direct link seems to have fixed the problem for me. thanks!

new version is great, but it (or maybe TVrage?) is giving me some bad information–for example, telling me that the caprica pilot and a new episode of nip/tuck are on tonight (sunday), which they’re not.

Good Work! Been lost without it… Cheers!

YES!!! WORKS! And i just got the fix from that one guy working last night. I had to kill my dock thru terminal to get it to work. How come when I click on the show name, i cant even click on the episode, it takes me to some weird page with only text

Works great, thanks for the great work. Any chance that we could get season and episode number listed in the display also? like 01×12 or S1E12 or something similar? I’ve wanted that for a while, but I never asked because it didn’t look like tv.com exposed it.

I had to restart the dock to make it work too. I didn’t lose my settings though.

Thanks, it works great.

Ya, Dock restart did the job for me! Thx!

Wow – super fast. Thanks for the new release Works great.

Thanks for new version, which is great, and for explaining about 2.3.5 versus 2.4.

had to remove the old version, reboot, and then install the new version to get it to work. Matt – thanks for all your hard work!!! your widget is one of my favs.

@ Austen: You’ll need to remove and re-add all shows again. The URL used to get the updates is saved in your preferences after you select a show using the search, so you might still be using my URLs. Clicking a show name should give you a tvrage.com page, not a weird dataproxy.pommepause.com page!

I was actually in the shower Thinking that TV show do I need to download tonight. lol I better check if TVForcast DW is back up
Thanks for the Hard Work.

Thanks, works great.

Thank you so much for this widget, it helps keep me sain from all the shows I watch.
any thoughts on having a scroll bar or some other means for a list of so many shows that it fills ones screen? I know, I’m and tv junky, but that is what this widget is for.
Thanks again.

Thank you Thank you Thank you, and its even faster now!

You rock!

Awsome release! I’ve been waiting it for long.
I had the same problem with the update, but killing the dock everithing worked, it even kept my saved shows.

A tip, if I may. Show the mumber of the episode (someone already told it earlier) and global time zone correction for all the shows at once (something that would take 30 seconds to set instead of 40… but we’re never too lazy… )

By the way, thanks again, great job!

finally! i’ve been waiting for this…and it works great. thanks a lot!!

this is awesome, you’re amazing!!! thank you!!!

that would be cool: a scroll bar. you could set it up to however many shows you want then you have to scroll.
thanks again!

Thanks it’s working perfectly for me. You did a great job!

Wonderful, thank you very much for the work you’ve done. I’m getting Capica pilot and Sarah Silverman on tonight too, seems like the same issue Brent is having. I’ve killed dock, used direct link, rebuilt show lists, etc. Same issue. Any ideas?

Hey, nice work!

But it’s only partially working for me. Comparing to another widget that also uses tvrage, the show GREEK, set to air march 30th, is coming up TBA. Everything else seems to be fine, but this concerns me, as it’s a show that I follow. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Kick ass!! You are a genious! I am so glad it works again TV.com can go burn now.

I’d like the season and episode number noted as well. Oh and an auto-update function since I haven’t mentioned that before…well in this thread I mean

It seemed like forever but the new, improved widget is better than before. Thanks for all your hard work. Even though I’m not a real TV junkie, there are certain shows I don’t like to miss. This is a great tool!

It is as fast as crap through a goose.

Thank you so much! My life was not complete without it.

so i was messing around on the widget, i jut kept refreshing it. any idea why two shows that are on at the same time would switch positions randomly?

WEEEEEEE!!!!!! We’re back in business!!! All TV Addicts unite behind Matt!!! Thanks dude

Thanks so much for this, you rule.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU so much!

It would be awesome if you could get the widget and the iPhone app to sync

HEY GUESS WHAT.

You are awesome! And amazing! I hope you never feel sad, because if you do, you should think of all your fans and how many people who you make happy. I’m so appreciative, THANK YOU!

fantastic new version – just please add episode and season numbering and an option for cover art! also love your iphone app btw

This is seriously great, thanks for the updated version. My dashboard was looking lost without it.

For some reason TV Forecast is telling me that there’s a new episode of Burn Notice on tonight (Thurs 3/26) when TVRage says that the new season doesn’t start until July (the last seasons last episode aired March 5th). Some kind of glitch? Just thought I’d mention this.

You’ve made me so happy, I finally donated something! Keep it up.

I am getting the same problem as Russ with Burn Notice showing up everyday. Same thing happens with The Spectacular Spider-Man.

Even with the bugs thanks, Matt for one of the best widgets out there.

I have the same issue as above with Deadliest Catch showing up everyday. TVRage reports the season starting in April 2009

Thanks for updating!

Installed 2.4 three times, but it kept coming up as the older version.

Restarting the Dock fixed the problem.

I am having an issue. I have downloaded the new version from the direct link, and yet, I just have the app starting up with that little gear spinning in the upper right corner constantly, it never uploads. HELP!?!?!?

hey tried to put the TV Show GREEK, which is airing tomorrow night is not on the widget. another thing is it shows the show BURN NOTICE is on the list everyday. and still i’m unable to add some show to widget.

Let me preface this with a big thanks for all the hard work in keeping this widget up to date. Free is never as appreciated as it should be.
I, too, see the “Burn Notice” error. I haven’t seen any other anomalies, though.

It tells me “Today” as the next date for Family Guy (“Something, something, something…”). Neither date nor title is correct…

have you ever thought about making this a standalone application instead of just a widget? i would love that

I have the same issue with shows being shown as ‘today’. Seems to me it happens for shows that do not have a full air date [Burn Notice is set to start in July 2009, and Family Guy in 2010 on TVRage right now]

So I guess it’s a parsing bug. Should probably go to TBA instead of Today.

And I second the wish for a SxxExx display as well in the widget, it would be awesome. Cheers and thanks for this!

I’m having the Burn Notice/Family Guy bug.

I have to say that it is a bit annoying since it is taking up 2 slots in my window of 5.

Ugh. Latest update completely wiped out my saved list of shows.

is this for mac only, how can i use it on windows?

Update — entered all my shows back in, had to do an unrelated restart of my Mac, and all shows were gone again. Any ideas?

The widget seems to keep thinking there is an update available even after I have updated. Any ideas? Thanks, love this thing and the iPhone app!

Update 2 — the problem is that if you add a show with an ampersand in its name (Law & Order, for example), the next time you restart the Dock your show list gets wiped. Matt is aware of this now.

@Mike I’ve had this problem too. All my TV shows have suddenly disappeared even though the plist is still there. I do not have any shows with the ampersand symbol. Any help is very much appreciated.

I’m having the same problem Mike. All my TV shows have disappeared even though my plist is still there. I do not have an Shows with the ampersand symbol in them. Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks a lot @Mike, this was really starting to drive me crazy ^^

how come every time i reset my macbook my tv shows get lost? im deleting the widget and installing it again.

so yeah its not working. reading the comments it seems like people have had the same troubles then it goes to them saying ‘thanks it works.’ i had a show with the ampersand and it deletes the shows. then got rid of it, added like 5 showns and killed the dock and theyre all gone. so any help would be great.

so i think i got it to work. but dont add the shows that have the ampersand for now right?

I haven’t had the disappearing-shows problem since I got rid of all my shows with ampersands in their names, so unfortunately I don’t know what the work-around for the *other* disappearing-shows problem might be. Obviously, look for other odd characters in their names, but I’m guessing you’ve already done that.

Thanks so much…I really love the widget – it comes in very handy when keeping track of a whole households favorite shows.

Just a quick suggestion: maybe add a scrollbar so that you can view however many shows you want? For example, displaying 20 shows doesn’t fit on my laptop screen.

so with 2.4.2 we can put the shows with ampersands (&) back in?

It seems tvrage.com has gone KIA and dragged the dashboard widget and the iPhone app along

Love this widget. One suggestion… there needs to be another “Limit forecast” filter. Right now you can limit the number shows it displays by number. This is pretty straight forward. What I think would be more useful is a filter that limits the display based on time/date. In other words, a filter that has 30/60/90/120 days in it. When you pick one, it only displays shows within that specific time period (from current date). I mean, knowing that the new season of 24 starts in 223 days on Jan 17, 2010 is great, but not really relevant when it’s only June 8, 2009. I think the ability to display a more focused and timely list would be awesome. Thanks for listening.

Hello. I really like your TV Forecast widget. One suggestion: Please include the length of a show.

Any way to add a “previously” button like the iPhone app in the next update or something similar to what TV Show Tracker does? Also episode numbers would be great too.
